Do you say Mister if you meet a player?

[ASTROBURN]

I would call any HOF player Mister, but if it's a younger player, I'll just shot out their first name. I got Brandon Crawford to come over and sign my ball when I did that.

you gotta be careful, cuz in SF, if you call out Brandon, more than half the team will come over

I call them Mister, unless I'm at a mets game. Then it's missus

Now only two Brandon's left The other Brandon can't sign for the moment!

If you're unsure, Always err on the side of being "too polite" and you can relax from there if they give you the ok.

 

[Hallsgator]

Whatever you do, don't harass them and repeatidly call their name. They heard you the first time, trust me.

Never have met a player yet, but I probably would say mister if I did. I did meet Mr. T once and I called him Mister T. That's one dude I would not harass.

Just don't do this. (Replace "mom" with player's name)

I would love to see Steve Carlton on the street and yell,"Hey 32! 32, over here!" He's a mercurial guy, I wonder what he'd do. I love Steve Carlton, BTW. Actually, I always use Mister when meeting new people and I'm trying to be a grown-up, especially people I respect. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

the only players id want an autograph from are older than i am, so absolutely

The only players you want an auto from are dead, so they don't care what you call them.

 

[sigma_chi]

I just yell "Hey you" until somebody looks, then I get that persons autograph....whoever it may be

I call the players [all younger] by the first name in casual way - it only backfires when I get the players' faces wrong.

Sometimes just because, I end up using Mr.

For coaches and anyone older, I use the Mr. line as a show of some respect before asking if they could sign.

 

[elmalo]

I call them chulo

Personally, anyone older I would address as "Mr." but anyone younger or around the same age I'll address by their first name
